Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1203 No One Around
It seems this fool really cares about me.
Lies could be told, but subconscious actions couldnât be feigned.
âI just found a better hiding spot.â Mackenzie pursed her lips and took the initiative to ask, âAre you okay?â
At that, she nervously examined him from head to toe, afraid he might be injured.
âIâm fine. Theyâre just a bunch of small fries!â Emmanuel casually smiled. His wife was starting to show concern for
him. A lot had changed from before.
âBut the tunnel ahead is destroyed, and we canât go back using this road,â Mackenzie said with concern. This meant her grandfatherâs bodyguards sent to pick her up wouldnât be able to meet up with them.
âWe can only take the path by the river.â Emmanuel thought for a moment and said, âBut they might ambush there
too.â
âHow about notifying Captain Payne now?â Mackenzie suggested.
Being a powerful woman in the business world, she was also well-versed in military strategy and various tactical books. Now that the mountain tunnel was destroyed, and the attackers were not many, it was obvious that it was a feigned attack. Their goal was to divert them onto another route, where there was a high likelihood of a genuine
ambush.
âNotifying Sage now can indeed engage in a bloodbath with the Holy Fire organization, ensuring our safety home, butâ¦â Emmanuel left his words hanging, clearly hesitating.
âYou donât want to do that,â Mackenzie, intelligent and witty, immediately responded. âDo you have a deeper
purpose?â
Emmanuel nodded. He believed the matter had to be resolved. Magnus was certainly behind the events of the past two days. Even if Magnus wasnât the mastermind, Emmanuel wanted to take down the mastermind behind this incident, seeking revenge for his cousin and the deceased members of the Terence Group.
Moreover, this would also deter others who wanted to seize the Heart of the Sun, making them think twice before laying hands on the Quillen family. Otherwise, the Quillen family would have to constantly hide under police protection in the future.
âAlright, weâll take the estuary road.â
âMackenzie, you-â Emmanuel suddenly became nervous and quickly tried to dissuade her, âIâll go alone. Itâs too dangerous. You donât need to take risks with me!â
âArenât we a married couple?â With just one sentence, Mackenzie silenced Emmanuel, starting him. âBesides, since the other partyâs meticulously planned scheme, you wonât be able to lure out the mastermind without me and the
Heart of the Sun.â

âButâ¦â Emmanuel still didnât want Mackenzie to take the risk with him.
âWhat? You just said that no matter what, youâll protect me, Was that just a casual remark that canât withstand a test?â Mackenzie deliberately provoked him, âYou protected Ashton for two days. Are you so annoyed about protecting your wife? Do men always prefer women outside?â
âNonsense!â Emmanuel retorted immediately, worked up. âMy relationship with Ashton is just business, but protecting you is a lifelong commitment!â
Bang!
Mackenzie thought a shot had been fired at her temple, and she seemed to be growing fonder of being with this fool.
The affectionate statement brought brief silence. Emmanuelâs face also blushed slightly. Since when did he start saying such cheesy things? Was it because Rhea had taught him well?
âLetâs go then!â Mackenzie said and turned around directly.
Emmanuel quickly followed.
Although the Bentleyâs rear was wholly deformed from the impact, given the decent quality of this luxury car, it could still run if the engine was intact.
They turned the car around and headed back onto the national highway.
Before entering the estuary road, Mackenzie had already called her grandfather and explained the situation. Emmanuel also called Sage to ask him to send someone to deal with the situation on the mountain road.
After that, the car left the national highway and entered the estuary road.
Both of them were mentally prepared. They thought there would be a loud commotion like the mountain explosion just now, but unexpectedly, the journey was silent, to the point of being eerie.
Although the traffic on the estuary road would be scarce after 7 p.m., that night, besides their car, there was no one
